Trix was a three rail system. Means you can run two trains on one track, one power rail and two return rails I think.

Assuming it is OO (distance between rails 16.5mm) it is likely to be Hornby Dublo, Trix, Marklin. Hornby would be far the most common in this country,

If it is O scale (32mm) then it could be Bassett Lowke, Hornby .

Post a pic and I will confirm and tell you if it's worth anything

Fulgurex is still around as a distributor of specially commissioned Japanese brass locos. They also sell a small point motor.
